Business History

Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this very successful home based business which is only now being placed onto the market due to the owners strong desire for retirement.

The business which is run and managed by our clients achieves a very respectful annual turnover of £140,000 derived from the sale of live worms, ground bait, fishing tackle, Crump and Pellets. Most of the products are purchased at wholesale and then re bagged and re labelled with a very good mark-up giving the business its own branded supplies.

The business was founded 26 years ago by our client who set out to grow worms for composting; during this trial work she discovered a particular worm, which was almost identical to the common brandling or tiger worm.

A species called Dendrobena Veneta. After much research it was found this worm was being bred as fishing bait albeit in a small way, our client decided this was a worm that could be beneficial to markets such as fishing bait and composting.
The business has a healthy mix of both commercial and end user customers which contributes to a consistent turnover throughout the year. The business has always enjoyed excellent levels of repeat business and new customers appear regularly provided from good word of mouth referrals and from the very good Internet website which has an automated ordering service.

We feel that this is an ideal business for someone who is looking for something very interesting and totally different. The current owner has kindly offered to give the new owner full industry training and details with regards to the businesses working practices. We feel that this opportunity provides a new owner with an excellent base to build upon and we urge early viewing of this very interesting business.
